Russia Drops Its Support For New Internet Regulations
This Monday, a Russian coalition decided to withdraw its support on a proposal that’s meant to make governments rethink legislations handling the internet. The treaty involves governments from across the world and aims to find a common understanding on an improved global telecom agreement.
Countries such as the United States, Canada, and the European states, along with several advocacy groups that strive for better internet-related laws, are hoping to set the treaty’s limits to telecom companies. However, Russia, China and several Arab states want exactly the opposite – the treaty should apply for more than traditional telecom companies.
The past eight days were busy as bees for Dubai, as the city held the negotiations with representatives from approximately 150 countries, all members of the International Telecommunication Union. Worth mentioning is that the actual treaty has never been updated since its creation in 1988 (that’s long before the internet took life).
The Russia-led proposal would have granted countries to block specific internet locations. Furthermore, the proposal was also mentioning taking control over the allocation of internet addresses, a job that falls under ICANN’s contract with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Jim Lewis, cyber security expert and member of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said:
“It looks like the Russians and Chinese overplayed their hand.”
On the other hand, Ambassador Terry Kramer agreed with Russia’s decision, but also warned that:
“These issues will continue to be on the table for discussion in other forms during the remainder of the conference.”
On Russia’s side we find China, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates, all signing for Russia’s proposal, with the latter commenting that the plan was never put aside.
“It may come down to the wire,” Western delegate said.
“There are a lot of other (similar) proposals so I don’t think this represents a substantial conclusion and could be just manoeuvring.”
What comes as a surprise is United States’ stance on the issue. The country’s opinion is that the internet must evolve without much interference from the governments. Furthermore, this development should continue and many of the treaty’s proposals could silence free speech, create anonymity breaches and leave room for censorship. It’s kind of hilarious and sad at the same time to read such a statement, but what can you do?
The treaty’s debates are set to end this Friday.

i hope they think better, they don't like U.S.A, so maybe they can change their idea just to be different of the U.S.A.
